  1. His “mentor”? Do gangs now have “mentors” like the Boys and Girls Clubs of America? If his defense attorney used that exact word to infer that O’Conner was not aware he was hanging out with armed gang members, and therefore, is not culpable, it did not work.

  2. The ONLY good gang member is a DEAD gang member. All of these idiots are under the age to EVEN POSSESS a gun, so the gun used in the “drive-by” was illegally acquired by the shooter. Gun Control STARTS with ascertaining by whatever means necessary, the gun supplier, and charging that person as an accessory to the crime. It is PAST time for Jared and the RCSO to “get it in gear”, and start charging these “suppliers”. The victim’s family is right — not a single one of these thugs, gets to walk, EXCEPT to the Classification Center for a speedy execution.

    • Well, criminals are ALLOWED to own guns. It’s the law-abiding citizens that authorities need to go after in their efforts to enforce gun control. Those damn law-abiding citizens think they can just own as many guns as they want! That’s just not right! Take ’em all away! (but leave the guns in the hands of the criminals please, that’s okay)
